OT--Is Everyone Ready for the Holiday

For those of us who celebrate Christmas...are you ready?

I have been battling some sort of walking/mild pneumonia for two weeks. In and out of work, in and out of urgent care for breathing treatments--UGH!! But I've managed to pull our modest Christmas together. Finished sewing some pajama pants last night, and wrapped the rest of the gifts. We're doing our baking on Christmas Eve. The kids have requested an easy stir fry for dinner on Christmas Eve, eggs and turkey bacon on Christmas morning, and a perfect "set it and forget it" pot roast for Christmas dinner.

We spent Sunday evening at my dad's--about a 3.5 hour drive--then came home on Monday. He gave the kids a new video game system and some related accessories. Last night my daughters and I stayed up late, talking, playing video games, watching Bob's Burgers, and just laughing and laughing and laughing. It felt so GOOD! Nobody cares that there are only a few presents under the tree. Nobody cares that we don't have fancy plans. We are just all so happy!
